I'd eat the curry and wouldn't give it a second thought. If there's no heating in your kitchen, in this weather it's probably just as good as keeping it in the fridge.

No idea about the tax stuff, sorry.

Barstool Word has just eaten version 2 of a paper I've been writing for a day and a half, after it ate version 1 yesterday. I'm either going to cry, finish my box of chocolates or throw a poops fit and go spend my €13 H&M voucher on impractical stuff for Molly.

only me popping in for a sporadic hello :wave: it's been a while!

The first 5 and a bit weeks of motherhood have been daunting, fabulous, draining, exciting etc etc - you know what it's like. Things I wish I'd known before hand - your boobs look lopsided between feeds and caesarian's knock it out of you for a good couple of weeks and not being able to calm your crying baby no matter what you do is torture, the lack of sleep is a doddle compared to that! Coping in our new house with mega draughty windows, rubbish 30 year old partial central heating and naff all loft insulation wasn't exactly fun either but building works starting 8 Feb so we'll all be warmer (and messier and bankrupt!) soon afterwards. Dreading the first lot of gas/electric bills as the first quarters (we moved in in Nov) are going to nicely coincide with my pay dropping to SMP.

Thomas is asleep, what's more he rocked himself to sleep in his bouncy chair without need for boob / hugging etc and has been asleep for about an hour now. And he managed a hour asleep in his cot last night (well 6am - 7am) too, would probably have slept for longer in his cot had his mother not fallen asleep feeding him at midnight.....

We've been using washable nappies :money: (bumgenius) for the last 2-3weeks in the day time - using up the disposable stash at night times (over bought slightly for my first few weeks while getting used to washables!) - and it's so far been OK.

Here's hoping for another half hour of kip so I can get breakfast / lunch before my little boob monster wakes up. Who knows, I might even get to actually read something of what you lot have been up to in that time too! Back laters, maybe!

can you attempt anything via a system restore, or via autorecover?

lol i dunno who it is, i think i googled ugly woman a while ago and had it saved to my lappy for some reason :rotfl:

MFD i'd give it a whiff and decide if it should be eaten, the result would probably be yes but i'd cook it for longer to make sure any germs are deaded. < but i'm a germ loving scruff remember

Have the rules changed on taxable benefits, MFD? I don't recall anything but I'm not very up on these things.

On the curry, I wouldn't but I'm a bit of a scaredy wuss. What's in it?

On the car front you can save on isurance by ensuring you don't get 'boy racer' car. Our big Mondeo is cheaper to insure than our Clio as it is considered a more middle aged car. My first car, an old metro cost about £1k a year to insure, and that was 8 years ago!

Hi always, good to see you back i was wondering where you'd got to.

Think a few of us are having the same issues with crying babies on an evening - me and Aless are gonna try some gripe water today to see if that helps!
